Legal advice based in study and creative analysis
Judge Segrest has always been keenly interested in legal ideas and philosophy, particularly:

In his forthcoming book Faith, Religion, and Reality, Judge Segrest argues that religion, family, morality, law, economics, and even technology are interdependent and based on what a culture believes and the forces that motivate people's actions. This insight informs all areas of his legal practice and his community and church activities as well.

Conscience and Command, published in 1994, developed the idea of a basis of law in human motivation. In Conscience and Command, Dale describes the origins of his ideas and summarizes the theory. He argues that while law is difficult to define and understand as a metaphysical concept, we can readily understand why people do the things they do that create a system of laws. Law is obviously energized by human motivational force. As people seek to satisfy their own needs for security, they create a system and contribute the energy that enforces the system. The system depends upon a shared system of beliefs. The collective energy enforces norms.
Community values are the key
Nearly 20 years ago Judge Segrest pioneered the concept of probation sponsorship to provide people convicted of crimes the opportunity to avoid incarceration by enlisting a community support group to promote good behavior and appropriate moral formation.
